THE PROCEDURE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MILITARY-TECHNICAL COOPERATION AND THE DELIMITATION OF OWNERSHIP RIGHTS TO ITS RESULTS BETWEEN THE BRICS COUNTRIES - THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND BRAZIL, THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND SOUTH AFRICA

Abstract

The article discusses the procedure for the implementation of military-technical cooperation and the delimitation of ownership rights to its results between the BRICS countries - the Russian Federation and Brazil, the Russian Federation and South Africa. At the same time, the focus of the author's attention is on the transfer and use of previous intellectual property, the distribution of rights to the results of intellectual activity and the procedure for resolving disagreements and disputes between the contracting parties and (or) participants to contracts. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that military-technical cooperation has a strategic role for modern Russia, designed, on the one hand, to strengthen the country's military and political positions in the world, and on the other, serves the purpose of maintaining the country's defense capability and military security at the proper level. The research conducted based on such methods of scientific cognition as: general scientific dialectical, formal legal and comparative legal methods, etc. At the same time, the author proceeds from the subjective-objective determination of processes and phenomena, and their interconnectedness. The novelty of this research is determined by its very purpose, subject and range of sources under consideration. In this format, the author came to the conclusion that the approaches of the BRICS countries under consideration on some key aspects of regulating the protection of intellectual property, both transferred and created within the framework of military-technical cooperation, are largely similar. At the same time, the regulation of the use of the results of intellectual activity is the basis of relations between the Russian Federation and the BRICS countries in military-technical cooperation and is aimed at excluding unauthorized use of such products, therefore, the conclusion is formulated that the regulatory framework in the field of military-technical cooperation in terms of its international legal component on ensuring the protection of intellectual property transferred and received within the framework of such cooperation needs further improvement.
